Good to hear you are in one piece Tony!

Cool

I remember Camac tyres....

I had them fitted to my Mini. They were the cause of 2 spins and quite a lot of bodyshop repairs.

It must have been the tyres, not my driving heaven forbid

Glad to hear you got out OK.
Dave.

Glad to hear u are ok Tony

My mates Scottish Gas van must be invinsible, listen to this...
1. He 360'd it going to work last year in the snow. Clipped a kerb and missed 2 cars. No damage!!
2. He pulled out into an ovetaking lorry at 65mph on the motorway (lorry was overtaking him and he did'nt notice!!!). The van got hit swerved about a bit andcame to a rest with just a dent at the back corner! Thats SO lucky.

Anyway i think u should get one of those!

good to hear you're okay; sorry to see you got biffed from the 'scooby general' board (should have mentioned the scooby spoiler on the roof to qualify for inclusion ).

Trust my sympathies don't upset any RS lurkers (refer various other threads )

regards

Which bit of the pass was it? I like the bit with the tall wooden post things, seem to remember achieving maximum warp down there
